Its almost impossible to believe we are now into a new year already.  It seems not so long ago we were celebrating 2015 as the new year, yet here we are in 2016.  Time certainly flies when you’re having fun.  Both Kylie and I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year.

If you are like us and you have taken some time off work during the Christmas and New Year period, you’ve probably driven off on a caravanning holiday.  This year, Kylie and I went to Seaspray, Victoria.  Situated 35KM south of Sale, Seaspray is located right on the 90 Mile Beach.  This would have to be one of the most spectacular beaches in the country with seemingly endless stretches of sand and surf.  Its an ideal location to simply wind down, relax and enjoy the summer sun.

We took the girls with us and they had a wonderful time.  As always, they were the centre of attention at the caravan park.

It was the first holiday where I’ve had an opportunity to fly my drone, a Parrot BeeBop which features a very cool full HD video camera.  Some of the footage is absolutely spectacular.  Having a drone provides a totally new perspective on capturing holiday memories that go way beyond simple photographs.  Using video editing tools like iMovie on the iPad, you can make some visually stunning memories of your travels.  Here’s a bit if a teaser of what is possible.

 

While we were away, the weather was extremely warm and it got me thinking about running caravan and RV fridges in these extreme conditions. Many people have issues with their fridges in hotter weather, right when they need the fridge the most.  There is nothing worse than arriving at your destination with a fridge full of spoilt food and warm beer.  So I’ve compiled some handy tips on keeping your fridge and its contents cool this summer.  Hopefully you find it useful.

As always, safe travels and see you on the road in the new year.
